Cause Of Death Of A Bennington Woman Has Been Revealed

The medical examiner’s report that has been released has revealed the cause of death for a woman found dead in the Roaring Branch River in Bennington earlier this month.

However, there are still questions that are unanswered

Bridget Osgood, 45, was found dead in the river on October 13th. The other part of this is she lived a short distance from the river.

My Champlain Valley reports that in Osgood’s death certificate.  It shows she suffered a broken neck from blunt impact to the head, she died within seconds.

As for the manner of her death, that is still pending.

The police investigation is still ongoing, back in October Bennington Police Chief Paul Doucette said Osgood’s death was being treated as suspicious,  and they were still waiting on toxicology results.

Osgood had apparently been absent from work for a number of days, but no one had reported her missing.
